Frequently Asked Questions

You must be at least 21 years old to register and play on kudos8. This is a strict requirement under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming. We verify age during the registration process and again during KYC document submission. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned. There are no exceptions to this policy.

kudos8 requires standard KYC documents to verify your identity and comply with PAGCOR and Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) requirements. Accepted documents include:

• Government-issued photo ID (Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, PhilSys ID, driver's license, or PRC ID)
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or barangay certificate — dated within the last 3 months)
• Selfie holding your ID for liveness verification

Upload clear, unobstructed photos of your documents through your account dashboard. KYC review typically takes 1–3 business days.

Go to the kudos8 Login page and click "Forgot Password." Enter the email address linked to your account and we'll send you a password reset link. The link is valid for 30 minutes. If you don't receive the email, check your spam or junk folder. If you still can't access your account, contact our support team at [email protected] with your registered email and we'll assist you promptly.

No. kudos8 strictly enforces a one-account-per-player policy. Creating multiple accounts — whether using different email addresses, mobile numbers, or payment methods — is a violation of our Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account suspension and forfeiture of all balances. If you believe a duplicate account was created in error, contact support immediately at [email protected].

Some account details — like your display name and contact preferences — can be updated directly from your account settings after kudos8 login. However, changes to core identity information (legal name, date of birth, national ID number) require you to submit a support request with supporting documentation, as these are tied to your KYC verification. Email [email protected] with the subject "Account Update Request" and our team will guide you through the process.

kudos8 supports a wide range of payment methods popular with Filipino players:

• E-wallets: GCash, PayMaya
• Online banking: BPI, BDO, Metrobank
• Cards: Visa and Mastercard (credit/debit)

All transactions are processed in Philippine Peso (₱). We're continuously working to add more local payment options to make banking as convenient as possible for players across Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines.

The minimum deposit on kudos8 is ₱100 for most payment methods including GCash and PayMaya. For bank transfers via BPI, BDO, or Metrobank, the minimum is ₱500 due to bank processing requirements. There is no maximum deposit limit for verified accounts, though large deposits may require additional documentation for compliance purposes. Deposits are credited to your kudos8 account instantly for e-wallets and within 1–3 hours for bank transfers.

Withdrawal processing times on kudos8 depend on your chosen method:

• GCash / PayMaya: Within 1–4 hours (most are processed within the hour)
• BPI / BDO / Metrobank: 1–3 business days
• Visa / Mastercard: 3–5 business days

Your account must be fully KYC-verified before withdrawals are processed. The minimum withdrawal amount is ₱200. If your withdrawal is taking longer than expected, contact our support team at [email protected].

kudos8 does not charge any fees on deposits. For withdrawals, kudos8 also does not impose platform-side fees. However, your bank or e-wallet provider may apply their own transaction charges — for example, GCash may charge a small cash-out fee depending on your account tier. We recommend checking with your payment provider for their current fee schedule. All amounts shown in your kudos8 wallet are in Philippine Peso (₱) and reflect your actual available balance.

If your deposit hasn't appeared in your kudos8 account after the expected processing time, here are the most common reasons:

• The transaction is still being processed by your bank or e-wallet
• You may have entered an incorrect reference number or account detail
• Your payment provider may have flagged the transaction for review
• Your kudos8 account may have a pending verification requirement

Take a screenshot of your payment confirmation and email it to [email protected] with your account username. Our team will investigate and resolve it within 24 hours.

For security and anti-money laundering compliance, kudos8 generally requires withdrawals to be made to the same payment method used for deposits. If you need to withdraw to a different account — for example, if your GCash number has changed — you'll need to submit a support request with documentation proving ownership of the new account. This process may take 2–5 business days to complete. Contact [email protected] to initiate the request.

kudos8 offers a generous welcome bonus for new Filipino players upon their first deposit. The exact bonus amount and structure may vary based on current promotions — check the kudos8 promotions page after you complete your kudos8 login for the latest offer. Welcome bonuses are typically credited automatically to your account after your first qualifying deposit and are subject to wagering requirements before withdrawal.

Wagering requirements (also called playthrough requirements) specify how many times you must bet your bonus amount before you can withdraw bonus-derived winnings. For example, if you receive a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement, you need to place a total of ₱10,000 in bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash. Different games may contribute differently toward wagering — slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute less. Full details are in the specific promotion's terms.

Yes — kudos8 rewards loyal players through a tiered loyalty program. As you play more, you accumulate points that unlock higher VIP tiers with better perks including higher withdrawal limits, dedicated account managers, exclusive promotions, and faster KYC processing. Filipino players from Manila to Davao who play regularly on kudos8 can climb the loyalty ladder and enjoy increasingly premium benefits. Log in to your account to check your current loyalty status and points balance.

Bonuses may not be credited automatically if: the deposit amount didn't meet the minimum qualifying threshold, the bonus code (if required) wasn't entered before completing the deposit, the promotion has expired, or your account has an existing active bonus that must be completed first. Check the specific promotion's terms and conditions carefully. If you believe you qualify but didn't receive the bonus, contact [email protected] within 48 hours of the deposit.

Yes. If you prefer to play without bonuses — for example, to avoid wagering requirements on your winnings — you can opt out of bonus offers in your account settings. Once opted out, future deposits will not automatically trigger bonus credits. You can re-enable bonus eligibility at any time from the same settings page. Note that opting out does not cancel any currently active bonus already credited to your account.

After completing your kudos8 login, go to Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" tab. From there, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine Peso (₱). Limits take effect immediately. If you want to increase a limit, there is a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the increase applies — this is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately with no waiting period.

Self-exclusion is available directly from your account's Responsible Gaming settings. You can choose a temporary exclusion (minimum 6 months) or a permanent exclusion. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets on kudos8. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period — this is intentional to protect you. If you need immediate assistance with self-exclusion, email [email protected] and our team will process it within 24 hours.

If you're concerned about your gambling habits, take action now — don't wait. Here's what you can do:

• Use kudos8's self-exclusion tool immediately from your account settings
• Set strict deposit and loss limits as a first step
• Contact the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) crisis hotline for professional support
• Reach out to Gamblers Anonymous Philippines for peer support and recovery programs
• Email our responsible gaming team at [email protected]

Yes. kudos8 offers a "Cool-Off Period" feature that lets you take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without committing to a full self-exclusion. During a cool-off period, your account is suspended — no logins, no deposits, no bets. The cool-off activates immediately and cannot be cancelled once set. This is a great option if you feel you need a breather but aren't ready for a longer exclusion. Find this option in your Responsible Gaming account settings.

kudos8 takes underage gambling extremely seriously. Our prevention measures include mandatory age declaration during registration (21+ required under Philippine law), government ID verification during KYC, and ongoing monitoring for suspicious account activity. Any account suspected of belonging to a minor is immediately suspended pending investigation. We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites on shared devices. If you suspect underage gambling, report it immediately to [email protected].
